IV. 8 Price : $ U.S. L50 (or equivalent in other currencies) DECLARATION OF THE FOURTH UNITED NATIONS CONGRESS ON THE PREVENTION OF CRIME AND THE TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS The Fourth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders, meeting at Kyoto, Japan, in August 1970, attended by participants from eighty-five countries representing all regions of the world, Being deeply concerned with the increasing urgency of the need for the world community of nations to improve its planning for economic and social development by taking greater account of the effects that urbanization, industrialization and the technological revolution may have upon the quality of life and the human environment, Affirming that inadequacies in the attention paid to all aspects of life in the process of development are manifest in the increasing seriousness and proportions of the problem of crime in many countries, Observing that the world-wide crime problem has many ramifications, covering the range of conventional crime as well as the more subtle and sophisticated types of organized crime and corruption, and subsuming the violence of protest and the danger of increasing escapism through the abuse of drugs and narcotics, and that crime in all its forms saps the energies of a nation and undermines its efforts to achieve a more wholesome environment and a better life for its people, Believing that the problem of crime in many countries in its new dimensions is far more serious now than at any other time in the long history of these Congresses, and Feeling an inescapable obligation to alert the world to the serious consequences for society of the insufficient attention which is now being given to measures of crime prevention, which by definition include the treatment of offenders, 1. Calls upon all Governments to take effective steps to co-ordinate and intensify their crime preventive efforts within the context of the economic and social develop• ment which each country envisages for itself; 2. Urges the United Nations and other international organizations to give high priority to the strengthening of international co-operation in crime prevention and, in particular, to ensure the availability of effective technical aid to countries desiring such assistance for the development of action programmes for the prevention and control of crime and delinquency; 3. Recommends that special attention be given to the administrative, professional and technical structure necessary for more effective action to be taken to move directly and purposefully into the area of crime prevention. iii CONTENTS Introduction Paragraphs Page I.

    Newcastles News March 2016 Sent by email to over 2000 people and organisations in over 50 “ Newcastles” - please share it with your contacts too! MUNICIPALITIES DISCUSS MERGER Two of our Newcastles of the World have, coincidentally, become involved in discussions to merge with their neighbouring municipalities. On February 8th the legislative authorities of Neuchâtel and of three nearby Swiss villages, Corcelles- Cormondrèche, Peseux and Valangin, decided in principle to amalgamate. After this first positive step the population of the four municipalities will have to make this decision by referendum on June 5th. The authorities are convinced that this merger would provide many advantages. Confronted by more and more technical, legal and financial challenges, they consider that a wider approach and a common treatment of many issues would allow greater efficiency. The new municipality – still called Neuchâtel – would experiment with a new form of direct democracy with six "citizen's assemblies" (assemblées citoyennes) in the former villages and in several quarters of the present city of Neuchâtel for decisions about very local issues and with the facility to refer and adopt proposals addressed to the municipal legislative. The "new Neuchâtel" would have about 45,000 inhabitants, an increase of 10,000 on current numbers. In Australia, the City Council in Newcastle, New South Wales, has been responding to proposals from the state government to reduce the number of municipalities to achieve efficiencies and savings and to improve service to residents. The Council has stated a preference to stand alone, but if, as expected, mergers are to take place then it will most likely be with the smaller Port Stephens Council to the north, giving a combined population of 230,000.

It offers abundant possibilities to tell stories, address themes in a nuanced, durational manner, create carefully art-directed universes, and reach audiences much larger and more diverse than those at any gallery or museum. So for Takashi Murakami, an artist known for his ambitious multimedia practice, international scope, and brand-name recognition, feature film was inevitable. Since the 1990s, his work has grown to encompass a staggering range of media—from large-scale painting and sculpture to Louis Vuitton bags—taking on the vast subject of the Japanese pop psyche on a global stage. It’s clear why an artist of Murakami’s stature would attempt the medium of film, but there was no guarantee that his gallery reputation would translate to success in cinema. The scale of a film requires a collaborative component—the cast and crew—that doesn’t jibe with the traditional idea of the artist alone in the studio creating a thoughtful masterpiece.

  • Germany and Japan As Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: a Role Theoretical Comparison
    Alexandra Sakaki Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Trier 2011 GERMANY AND JAPAN AS REGIONAL ACTORS IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA: A ROLE THEORETICAL COMPARISON A dissertation submitted by Alexandra Sakaki to the Political Science Deparment of the University of Trier in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submission of dissertation: August 6, 2010 First examiner: Prof. Dr. Hanns W. Maull (Universität Trier) Second examiner: Prof. Dr. Christopher W. Hughes (University of Warwick) Date of viva: April 11, 2011 ABSTRACT Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Recent non-comparative studies diverge in their assessments of the extent to which German and Japanese post-Cold War foreign policies are characterized by continuity or change. While the majority of analyses on Germany find overall continuity in policies and guiding principles, prominent works on Japan see the country undergoing drastic and fundamental change. Using an explicitly comparative framework for analysis based on a role theoretical approach, this study reevaluates the question of change and continuity in the two countries‘ regional foreign policies, focusing on the time period from 1990 to 2010. Through a qualitative content analysis of key foreign policy speeches, this dissertation traces and compares German and Japanese national role conceptions (NRCs) by identifying policymakers‘ perceived duties and responsibilities of their country in international politics. Furthermore, it investigates actual foreign policy behavior in two case studies about German and Japanese policies on missile defense and on textbook disputes.

  • Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture
    Excerpt from the FY2013 White Paper on the Environment Environmental Quality in Aichi Prefecture Aichi 1 − Introduction − In 2013, Japan witnessed record heat and destructive typhoons, causing considerable damage throughout the nation. Some experts have argued that such abnormal weather phenomena can be attributed in part to global warming. Recently there has been growing health concern about fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, an air pollutant found in toxic smog. To provide its residents with detailed information on PM2.5 levels, the Aichi Prefectural Government has reinforced its air quality monitoring system, including increased monitoring locations. Now that global environmental issues have a diverse range of impacts on our everyday lives, we need to strengthen public administration as regards environmental protection from a global perspective. In November 2014, the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) will be held here in Aichi Prefecture. This conference is of great significance, in that it will bring together those engaged in ESD from Japan and abroad to conduct lively discussions on this subject under the theme of “Creating a Better Future for the Planet.” The environmental awareness of the citizens of Aichi Prefecture has been enhanced through international environmental events hosted by Aichi, such as Expo 2005 Aichi Japan in 2005 and the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD-COP 10) held in 2010. We believe that the UNESCO World Conference on ESD will provide another springboard for the people of Aichi Prefecture to further increase environmental awareness and promote pro-environmental behavior.

  • The Cinema of Virtuality: the Untimely Avant-Garde of Matsumoto Toshio
    The Cinema of Virtuality: The Untimely Avant-Garde of Matsumoto Toshio by Joshua Scammell A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University OTTAWA, Ontario © 2016, Joshua Scammell Abstract: Scholarship on the avant-garde in Japanese cinema tends to focus on the 1960s. Many scholars believe that the avant-garde vanishes from Japanese cinema in the early 1970s. This study aims to disrupt such narratives with the example of filmmaker/theorist Matsumoto Toshio. Matsumoto is one of the key figures of the 1960s political avant-garde, and this study argues that his 1970s films should also be considered part of the avant-garde. Following Yuriko Furuhata who calls the avant-garde of the 1960s “the cinema of actuality,” this thesis calls the avant-garde of the 1970s “the cinema of virtuality.” The cinema of virtuality will be seen to emphasize a particular type of contiguity with the spectator. This strategy will be discussed in relation to four of Matsumoto’s short films: Nishijin (1961), For the Damaged Right Eye (1968), Atman (1975), and Sway (1985) and a brief discussion of Funeral Parade of Roses (1969). ii Acknowledgements: In the classical world, artists often had their pupils do the actual work, while they took all the credit for the original idea. Working with Aboubakar Sanogo is almost the opposite. No words can express my gratitude towards his generous commitment of time and energy towards this project, and his nurturing open-mindedness to my more abstract ideas.
